Naked in public view - is it legal ?
With a heatwave around the corner, Brits have been warned about one warm weather past time that could get them in trouble.
It’s important to know the rules when it comes to sunbathing – especially if you plan to strip off to avoid tan lines.
It may be surprising to find out that topless sunbathing is perfectly legal for both men and women in the UK.
Full public nudity is also not a crime but only if the person who strips off has no intention to cause alarm or distress. There are specific offences relating to intentional exposure.
It’s important to know the rules when it comes to sunbathing – especially if you plan to strip off to avoid tan lines
According to the law, it's not an offence to be naked in public, but it can be an offence if you cause distress or alarm to others.
That means you're perfectly fine to sunbathe in the nude in your own garden - as long as it doesn't upset your neighbours.
This is what the actual law states: "In the absence of any sexual context and in relation to nudity
where the person has no intention to cause alarm or distress it will normally be appropriate to take no action unless members of the public were actually caused harassment, alarm or distress (as opposed to considering the likelihood of this)."
So if you live in the countryside with no one overlooking your garden, go ahead but you might want to think again if you live near others.
It's also recommended that people who want to sunbathe naked should inform their neighbours first.
Nick added: “For those hoping to catch some sunshine in the garden these same rules still apply.
“It’s advisable to let the neighbours know this is what you’re planning or find a part of the garden shielded from view, so you can avoid causing any unnecessary shock or a call to the police.”
Mind you, who in their right mind would even think to talk to their neighbors and warn them they may be naked in their own gardens ? With sensible precautions and screens, it is none of their business as long as you do not flaunt it and be obnoxious with it.
If someone is offended by a naked body - and there is no overt signs
of sexual activity, one does wonder why they are so offended, it is just a naked body, a man or a women , just as a child is naked at birth - nothing rude there, and any offence is usually is the mind of the one being offended and is more their own sick and twisted view of life, death and the universe.

I was told off by my lover for being naked in the grounds of our home on Kawaii decades ago.
It was completely private - beach front was restricted to only those who lived there - and other than the hippy gardener, who really couldn't give a dam about me being naked, I saw nothing wrong with it. This was, after all, Hawaii and hot and glorious, we had a million dollar home and pool and why wouldn't I want to be naked.
Trouble was, my lover had a small dick and it affected him in many ways and seeing me naked by the pool with my big schlong and low hanging balls angered him because he could not compete and always wore shorts to hide his tiny pecker, and I always said that he should be proud of what he has got and fuck everyone else and what they thought and besides, there was no one to see him except the gardener, who was in our employ - so why was he always so upset when I went naked ?
He couldn't move past the sexual side of being naked and considered himself too small, which did not match up with his somewhat inflated ego at being the richest man amongst all his friends - so envied and resented anyone showing a bigger dick, and sadly, that was his thing, his problem and not to spill it out onto me as I had no such fuck-ups around my dick and nudity and did not need him offering me that kind of messed up idea of things, and he had to learn to cope with it.
Nudity is natural and when you pass the sexual thing and see it as just naked people, you can relax and have fun.
Naturally as gay men, we always want to see what the pecker is like and naturally as gay men, we want to play all the time, and that's where you have to be careful.
I later went on to create a work lifestyle where I was naked most of the time, as a sex worker -as naturally you are naked most of the time and then when I retired from sex work, I went on to own and run a clothing optional - men only venue - Hamilton Hall - so have spent most my working life - naked.
Nothing to hide.
Nothing to be ashamed of.
Nothing but joy at feeling the hot sun on your naked body and your balls slapping between your thighs as you walk...
Keep it legal and keep it decent.
